Modern version of Magnolia walls?

Hi all, looking for ideas for a modern neutral colour to paint my interior walls. I don't want it to look too white/clinical/cold. Any ideas?

I hope I don't upset anyone but Magnolia seems really dated when I see it now and I just can't get past that 🙈 (sorry)

F&B skimming stone

Well, everything still seems to be grey. So any version of a "white with grey undertones".
Or any of the host if white with beige/cream/yellow undertones that are everywhere.
Timeless? Jasmine white? Schoolhouse white?

Dulux Timeless gets recommended all the time on here. So I’d say that. Or Egyptian Cotton.

I think it's potentially a mistake to paint your house one shade of neutral - the light in each room will be different and what looks like the right balance of warmth and freshness in one room may not carry through to the next.

All of it? All your walls in your house the same colour?

If you want to go down that route, just white, then. The greys that have dominated the last few years are a bit miserable. I honestly think that the popularity of magnolia was that it's actually quite nice!

Or just pick a palette of a few different warm colours - pale green, pale pinky/peach, buttery yellow etc. depending on the orientation/use of your rooms and make it a bit more pretty.

Old Gold by crown heritage is an antique gold colour. I painted my bedroomwith it and it looked beautiful in the late afternoon sun. They've changed the pigmentation so it's a bit lighter and more coral in tone than it used to be. You can get a proper antique gold from other paint brands.

Little Greene Slaked Lime mid is perfect- or too grey, not too yellow, just a very easy, soft off white. SL comes in different depths so you can play around with it. My dh used to have Timeless in his hall and stairs-not to my taste as too creamy/yellowy but nice if you like those colours. Egyptian Cotton is pretty dark.
